Joshua Sariñana’s article in MIT Technology Review analyzes the work of filmmaker Suneil Sanzgiri, whose art addresses themes of historical trauma, memory, and colonization. Sariñana explores how Sanzgiri leverages both digital tools, like 3D scanning, and physical manipulation of 16mm film to examine the geopolitics of his ancestral home in Goa, India, and the lasting impact of colonial histories.
